Chelsea!!! Hi, OMG im so glad to know your alright.
*Gives a big warm hug*. Im sorry to hear that teeth are giving you headache and problems again. I thought those difficulties with inflammation, cavity etc were past. But sadly it seems how i hoped prematurely. And hearing how you have other problems makes me worried(you already know you can say to me whats bothering you, ill try to help if I can). Stay strong my friend, youll come around this like you did with those issues before. Just try not to let that pessimism and negative thinking consume your mind, because that will only reflect badly on whole body.
As for new series I really hoped how Alola starting around time pokemon anime will have 20th anniversary would mean some special, groundbreaking treat for viewers. In sense of lot of revisit of past, older main characters playing major roles again etc. Especially Misty given how Hawaii based region as Sun and Mon is bursting with lot of water and aquatic themes would have been perfect and logical way to have Misty involved. And revive some of that spirit and vividness this series and character interactions were known for with her around. Especially after rather boring group dynamic we had with XYZ cast with everyone being "peace and flowers".
But I should know better.
Not to mention Ash looks so silly and off-putting. It gives vibes of new big reset coming on, lot of newly revealed pokemon don't even feel like they come from this anime anymore with whole series based on this little info available now awfully resembling Yokai Watch. Pokémon company isn't even trying to be original anymore.
Ill give it a try, but if there is no new twists and some really pleasant surprises worth my time and interest i don't know. In considering to take break from Pokemon.
